"Oh, is it a standard shift?" (!!! It would be a World War and 11 years later before one 1st came in a 48 Olds)
The reply here has me confused. Automatics came out before the war.

With the full electrics, you couldn't tell the difference other than that they worked so well. I do not remember if the solenoids and/or plumbing was retained underneath the hood or chassis, but probably not. I may have a lot of that stuff in a box around here somewhere.
The electric motors came out of mid-1950s Lincolns, if anyone wants to know where the six-volt motors came from.

We had three 1942 Packards and one 1941 converted to full electric windows. We used 6-volt motors rather than 12-volt motors so that they could be run off the car's regular battery. They work like a charm.
We did this after several overhauls of the hydro-electric unit. The problem with the original system is that if the windows are not used regularly, they will fail.

You will have to be more specific as to which model 1931 Packard you're working on in order to look for correct bumpers.

It turns out the car in the OP's link is a 1907 Pierce Great Arrow.

Probably the front face of the front seat, or possibly the dashboard. More likely the seat, tho.
In regard to the photo, tho, that isn't a Packard. I'm pretty sure it's a ca. 1911 McLaughlin Buick with "updated" rear fenders. UPDATE: It's a 1907 Pierce Great Arrow

In reality, more than likely it's the exact same tire size, as the reproduction manufacturers many times just change the number, and pour more rubber.

7.00 is correct for the 120.
6.50 is correct for the Six
